Hellooo, happy mid-semester break! For this blog, I thought I would give you a different perspective on what chemmat has to offer, so some of my lecturers have kindly offered some of their experiences and advice! Featuring… Amanda DiIenno, Thomas Loho and Steve Matthews 🤗 What made you decide to study chemical engineering? Amanda…Continue Reading Lecturers Write my Blog Post!
I know I said my next blog was going to be up by the end of August, but the beginning of September is pretty close, right? It is currently the first week of the mid-semester break and there are six more weeks to go until the end of semester two, which means six more weeks…Continue Reading Six more weeks until I am halfway through my degree! – Mid-semester Mechatronics Update
So we’re four weeks into semester 2 and let me tell you, this semester is very different from the one I just described in my previous post (oops). A lot less chemistry and a lot more process engineering – as you can see by the course names: Process Design 1, Process Engineering 2 Energy and Processing,…Continue Reading Too much to Process
It would be a great idea to go through the courses in Part 2 right? BTW this post is super-long but a tl;dr would be Part 2 is a big step up from everything in Part 1, there’s a lot of design projects to be ready for, and get involved in university life to get…Continue Reading Busy? Nah mate just sleeping in lectures aye
Reflecting on my last two blogs, I’d call it fair to say that I haven’t done the greatest job selling electrical engineering. Sure, I’ve made numerous forgettable jokes here and there, but it’s probably time to give you some actual insights into what second year is like in electrical. At this point, you’re probably expecting…Continue Reading In Conversation with Glorified Sparkies in Training: Part 1
As any honest person will tell you, the first few weeks of second year engineering are an uphill battle. Your workload is bigger and scarier than ever before, you’re reminded of all the relevant content from first year that fell out of your head over summer and, if you’re lucky, you might be experiencing what…Continue Reading Here’s a collection of stuff that semester 1 threw at me!
What’s the most humbling experience you’ve had lately? And, wait, what does that have to do with software engineering? And why am I doing this weird kind of intro again? Let me explain. A couple of examples come to mind for me. The first is from one hour ago, when I wanted to start writing…Continue Reading Metaphorical Wi-Fi (or, Why Did I Choose Software?)
“One of my team members hasn’t done anything yet!” “We have so many labs I can barely keep up!” These are both sentences I am yet to mutter. Is it because I magically had great teams and I love labs? Nope, it’s just because semester one of Computer systems is approx 95% theory. Semester one…Continue Reading Semester One – Solving Circuits in My Dimly Lit Room
Hey all, welcome back! SO when I was in first year and trying to decide on a specialisation, all I wanted to know was exactly what second-year holds, in terms of the types of courses and the content that is involved. If that is also you, I have answered your prayers in this post ……Continue Reading Sem 1 Sum Up 🌈
Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Bonjour, Guten Tag and WELCOME to the 2019 album of the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Blog. My name is Heinrich, and I will be your guide in this journey of the in’s and out’s of probably the best specialisation in Engineering. Although the name is slightly deceptive, I am born and…Continue Reading A Beginner’s Guide to Biomedical Engineering
